First Impressions: FOR BELOVED ONE's Red Wine Antioxidant Night Jelly

What do you think of, when you hear the words "Red Wine"?
For me, my brain immediately processes good images associated with it.
A romantic escapade, a relaxing night out, & even health benefits.

Yes, red wine has been proven countless of times to be beneficial for our health.
It helps protect the heart & even lowers cholesterol levels.
BUT, Red Wine for the skin? 
That was pretty much a first for me. 

About the Brand:
For Beloved One was founded in 2011, by their founder Margaret Wu.
Margaret has been a beauty editor for over 20 years, and has experimented & tried many top beauty products, and skincare secrets. 
However, she could not find 1 product that could satisfy all types of needs, by different women. 
That was how the brand was first founded. 

The concept of Red Wine Facial Mask was introduced by the famous Taiwanese celebrity- Barbie Hsu, 10 years ago.
For Beloved One, the well known Taiwanese skincare brand, has since launched an upgraded version of the Red Wine Facial Mask.
The Red Wine Antioxidant Night Jelly, like its name suggests, 
is a overnight skincare treatment that provides antioxidants and their benefits.


So, what are antioxidants?
Antioxidants are nutrients (vitamins and minerals) and enzymes (proteins inside your body) that can help to prevent and repair damage to your body's tissue. Antioxidants do this by slowing or preventing the effect of free radicals, which start oxidation -- a process that causes damage from oxygen that can lead to cell dysfunction. If you've seen a peeled apple turn brown, you've seen oxidation in action. As antioxidants block the effects of free radicals, they end up being oxidized. This is why it's important to constantly replenish your supply of antioxidants.

When it comes to caring for your skin, antioxidants can help to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. Unlike sunscreens and moisturizers, antioxidants can protect your skin from the inside out by guarding your cells from damage. Vitamins A, C and E and the mineral selenium are thought to be particularly helpful in skin care. In addition to helping fortify cells against free radicals, vitamins A and C also encourage cell and tissue growth, helping the body to repair itself. This is very helpful to the skin, which is constantly shedding and regrowing cells. For this reason, any antioxidants that protect cells and encourage cell growth could be helpful in an anti-aging regimen, as they may help fight fine lines and wrinkles [source: WebMD].


In general: 
Anti Oxidants can help with blemishes, enlarged pores, lines and even wrinkles!
So for anyone that is looking to solve any skin problems as listed above,
the For Beloved One's Antioxidant Red Wine Overnight Jelly is the one for you!!



I was honoured to receive a full size bottle of the Anti-Oxidant Red Wine Overnight Jelly,
to review for my readers.
& here's my FIRST IMPRESSIONS, & simply how I felt about the product. 

Packaging: The Overnight Jelly comes in a heavy plastic container with a red top.
I love products with simple packaging like this, yet eye catching at the same time!
The container is simply fuss free, & comes with a spatula for you to scoop up the amount required.
without contaminating the product in the jar.
Perfect for fussy, clean-freaks like me!

Smell
Fresh floral smell, alike the smell you'd find yourself whiffing in a high end spa.
Nothing too overwhelming.

Colour:
Wine Red. Very Unique.
But spreads out to become a translucent layer on the skin.


Texture
Like its name suggests, a Jelly like texture that easily blends out into a liquid,
Light on the skin, easily absorbed & non tacky.

Effectiveness
I woke up to very supple skin that was hydrated and moisturised,
while tackling a 22 degrees air conditioned room with really dry air.

Overall Rating
I love this product for how lightweight it is, which is super comfortable on the skin.
None of us love that heavy feeling on our skin, that suffocates our pores.
With this jelly texture, the product is rapidly absorbed into the skin,
leaving almost no feeling of any product left on the skin, while you catch up on some beauty rest.

Waking up to supple, hydrated and smooth skin,
this product is now a must have in my skincare collection.
I have also realised that it calms my skin, to prevent any irritation.

Therefore, a 4.5/5 for this product!
